Historic Sites of Manitoba: Aikins Court / Pritchard Court / Missionaries of Charity Building (167 Aikins Street, Winnipeg)
This two-storey wood frame building on Aikins Street in Winnipeg was designed by local architect Max Zev Blankstein and constructed in 1907 by contractor J. Shrem for owner J. Freedman. The 32 feet by 48 feet building contained ten residential apartments. Known initially as Aikins Court, by 1917 it was renamed Pritchard Court. Subsequently, it was taken over by the Missionaries of Charity, a public service facility of the Archdiocese of Winnipeg.
